Publisher's description: Author's description: Legends of Middle Earth is a role-playing game (or RPG) set in the world of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, and other works of professor JRR Tolkien. Because this document does not go into detail about Middle Earth, it is a good idea to have read the books (or at the very least seen the movies) before playing a game using this rule set. Note that this is a completely unofficial work; the author is not affiliated with the Tolkien estate in any way, and the company Decipher puts out a legitimate Lord of the Rings Role-Playing Game. There is no charge for this game, ever.
